“After carefully selecting the location for my surrender, I was guided through a ritual of three beautifully crafted stages. Testing me, but also teaching me about the prison I created for myself and how to free myself from it.
I surpassed my limits several times, my body tied and pressed against stone, blindfolded by a mask made of moss. It was intense but soothing at the same time, because I knew you were there with me. The sound of your whip cracking and echoing through the woods is something I will never forget.
Removing the sharp from my chest, watching the moss-covered words that held me down for so long float away on the river, was both beautiful and liberating.
Thank you for this amazing gift Cleo.

“Fell asleep, your scent still on my hands mingled with the copper tang of blood that hadn't quite faded. The sleep of the exhausted. Now I wake and see the only proof that today wasn't a dream. Now rested and restored, I can finally process my experience. On the verge of tears for the cautious care, the conscientious effort put into every moment we spent together. I can still feel your arm around my shoulders as you bound me. I can feel your whisper in my ear. The not-quite-sting of the flogger will be with me. More than anything, your presence is what I take with me. Thank you, Cleo”

“Our ritual has been with me all week.
I tap the purple on my thighs, and smile at the ghost of devils club on my hands and feet, enjoying this secret living in my body.
I’m flooded with dreams of future magic pain to curate for myself and others, and maybe (if I am lucky) with you again.
It was deeply meaningful to me to get to be witnessed by and held by you. Creating and playing with you is so beautiful. I don’t have words for it, except…
Thank you.”

“Your support and preparation were fundamentally important to go through this experience. I want to thank you again for reaching out and to share some of the pain by putting the needle through your own skin. It was the most generous gift you could have offered me in this moment and it took some of my pain and fear away to help me focus on my breath. Thanks for your trust, intuition and generosity.”
